Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas

[link removed]

To any outsider in his Massachusetts high school, star basketball
player Chris Herren looked on top of the world, with broken records
behind him and a promising career ahead of him. But what many did not
know was that beneath his physical prowess was someone struggling with
mental health challenges and substance use.

In his return to Heart of the Matter, Chris connects with Elizabeth
Vargas about parenting and the importance of focusing on our
children's social and emotional health as students across the
nation return to school in the midst of a resurgence of COVID-19. The
two also speak about the ripple effect of speaking up and why, as a
former pro-athlete in recovery, Chris is inspired by Olympic gymnast
Simone Biles's stand against mental health stigma. ?
